The short explanation of this alert was:
Both the U.S. House and Senate recently approved a bipartisan bill authorizing a $35 billion expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The program currently provides healthcare for more than 6 million low-income children, and this new authority will provide coverage for an additional 4 million children.
President Bush's October 3 veto of this bill will mean children who now depend on the program may lose their coverage. We should be doing more—not less—to reach the millions of uninsured children in this country. The House will seek to override the veto on October 18th. Send a strong message that no one in the United States should go without healthcare.
